thanks EVERYONE! great ideas! i have ten days to get it to him in Nantucket! i better get busy!!! i found him one he wants on BEST BUY - never woulda thought there!

i am looking for a great deal on a kitchenaid mixer for my sons 21st bday- he is a culinary student and this is all he wants! color doesnt seem too important- although i got him his Le Cruset dutch oven and pans for him at Xmas in red and blue- so probably should stay in that color range.... im thinking i should be happy that he wants cooking items and not a keg or two of beer! :)

i would love to hear about it too! we are just across lake michigan! LOL! :)

yup- i still will be a loyal AG customer- i have never had problems before this- and i told them that- i have always been a happy customer! im glad it got fixed! on a side note- i called today about the puppy chewing the foot... and it cannot be fixed she said if it were his head- the can replace it- but not feet! im soooooooooo bummed! carly hasnt gotten upset by it yet- so maybe he will always just have to wear shoes!!!! i will probably replace him here soon- i want my girls to keep them FOREVER! :) we have 6 dolls and almost every accessory possible- and my girls 10, 8 and 6 play with them literally daily! the quality is awesome! and the happiness they bring my girls is priceless! i do definately recommend them for the people who are thinking of them! i have bought some of the accessories at target for the 18" dolls- (styling chair and scooter) and my girls have been happy with those too!

i was trying to be "vague" about the resolution because they actually asked me not to post on here about it!!! (interesting)- but no- i did not get anything "extra" - just my original order! i would have thought you would WANT me to let people know i was happy now....

they had all but one of the three bitty baby outfits- she has the boy/girl twins because she is a fraternal twin- so i was able to get one boy and one girl outfit- they dont "match" - but i dont think she will reall notice!!! and they had all the other stuff except the 2 snowboards- they are back ordered until 1/29- so im guessiing that they will be valentines presents! lol! we'll still have snow here in michigan! i was kinda surprised they gave me the sale price on the backorder! but hey- ill take it! on a sad note- the new naughty puppy chewed the toes off carly's bitty twin last night.... so i guess i'll be calling back today to see if fixable - or ordering another! GRR!

thank you for the suggestion to call again! i did call back and ask to speak to a supervisor- none were available- and the lady asked if she could help- and i said i already spoke to someone and need to go higher up- and she said to go ahead and try her- and ta-da! the issue has been resolved! i really appreciate all the support i have had on here! i LOVE this forum- it has saved me SOOOO much money over the years! my friends cannot believe it when i tell them i got this or that for such a great price and i tell them.... go to GOTTADEAL.COM !!! and with 5 kids- :eyepoppin i need to save all i can!!!

i actually "tried" to talk to someone else on weds am when i called and thats when the lady came back on after talking to her supervisor and went thru the whole... "the sale was extended another 24 hours-and if you look you will see some items are still at sale price" blah blah blah-and thats when i was like- WELL- i got the info at ONE AM and your email to me says to call to PROCESS the order- not to place an order- so that made it seem you had my order waiting to talk live to me-and so i tried to state my case again and she came back from talking to her super and then they offered me 10$ off the 19.95 shipping it would now cost me to pay full price and i told her that was unnacceptable and i would be contacting the president of AG and i am on a forum (yeah gotta deal!) where i know alot of people had problems monday and i will post this on there-and i said the interenet is a very big tool and i told her that i just couldnt talk to her anymore because i was going to get angry! i did shoot off an email to the president of AG- havent heard anything yet.... i have been a manager of restaurants for over 20 years- and let me tell you- it IS all about CUSTOMER SERVICE! i will do ANYTHING to make your experience enjoyable! if you tell me- after you eat the whole steak -you didnt like it- its off your bill and heres a gift card to come back and try us again! i just had a couple in celebrating their 50th anniversary- i gave them 50% off bill! you have to do whatever it takes to make people happy and want to come back- esp. in this economy! i have actually bought a lot of the clothes from craft fairs- luckily my girls dont care about the label- they still like to get ag ones tho too! and my youngest is due for her doll in march- and im so torn! i will boycott if you piss me off- but i cant punish carly tho either and not get her her doll- they get them for their 6th bday! shes lookign forward to this! i think i may have to look at ebay for a doll! i am seriously thinking about boycotting for one year tho- i figured out i spent over 1000$ last year between the store in chigago, new york (sil went and got me things) and xmas and bdays~ so probably just pocket change to them- but alot of money to me! i laughed today in the mail when i got the renewal for their magazine! oh what to do! thanks for letting me vent and the support! it really makes me feel ike im not just being a brat or whatever- :-)

thank you! its totally principal now for me- i received the email after the 24 hours and it said to PROCESS my order- not MAKE an order! I sent off an email to the president! we'll see what happens! i was ok with missing the sale- (bummed- but ok) but when i got that email and was told on the phone they extended it- but i was told AFTER- thats when i got mad!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!:mad::mad: i so need to vent! so i NEVER got thru- literally had my phone at work tyring to get thru- even tried online while friends phone was on the internet at their site, AND had my cell redialing also- i sent an email thru at about 1p requesting the items i was trying to order- gave them all y info inc. cc# HOPING it would go thru-(here it is) dear american girl, i have been trying to place an order for over FOUR hours- these are the things i want- 2 chrissa snow outfit- on sale today for $20 each 2 snowboards- on sale today for $16 each 1 fun in the sun jumper set on sale today for $12 1 fun in the sun short set on sale today for $12 2 snowboard accessorys on sale today for $16 each 1 minute mysteries 2 on sale today for $2 1 tropical waves beach set on sale today for $12 IF i could get onto the website- i could give you item numbers- i cannot even do that! my credit card number is XXXXXXXXXXXX9152 08/11 debi kxxx 7153 heatherwood xxxxxx6 -3xx-xx1 your site and phone have been down all day- and i would REALLY appreciate my order going thru- seeing as i have sat on hold/ trying to check out for over four hours today! PLEASE let me know if this order goes thru! i deserve that courtesy for the hours i have spent trying to do this!!!!! tues got an email saying we received your email- and an answer will be following shortly. just logged on- and had an email from them : Dear Ms. Korfker, We apologize for the difficulty you experienced while trying to place an order on November 30, 2009. Our Cyber Monday specials created very high volume on our website and phones causing significant delays. Cyber Monday specials ended at 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time on 11/30/2009 as planned. However, because of the technical issues we experienced with our website, we have decided to expand the list of products in our "Spotlight Savings deals". To place an order we will need to speak with you directly. Please do not send credit card information via e-mail as this is not a secure method of communication. Please call Customer Service at the toll-free number listed below so that we may process your order. Thank you for your patience. We appreciate your business. Sincerely, American Girl® Customer Service so i call- MIRACULOUSLY all the items but one are still available- however - not on sale anymore- and then she tells me that they extended the sale another 24 hours- b/c of the problems with the volume.... i asked if they would extend the sale to me seeing as 1. i didnt receive the email from them until one am this morning- AFTER the 24 hours and their email NEVER stated it was only 24 hours! asked her boss- and she said no- that it was for 24 hours, not 72.....and that there are still over 20 things on sale and as a COURTESY to methye will take my shipping down from 19.95 to 9.95! WTF!!!!! serioulsy? so i of course am PISSED because your email NEVER told me 24 hours- AND you sent it at 1am TODAY!!!! DUH! so i told her that this was TERRIBLE customer service and i will be contacting the president AND posting it on a forum where i KNOW there are other upset peope who could not get thru!!! i am not asking them to give me something i wasnt already ordering- i just feel they should honor my original order request! for me now its principal- customer service can either make or break you- and unfortunately- they are an exclusive store- and its not like i can go to the local store and purchase the same item- but that doesnt mean you dont try to work with someone! and ten bucks wasnt enough- i literally spent all flipping day/night on this! yep- still fuming! :mad:

i did try to call as well as online- OVER and OVER and OVER all night-i finally got thru at 10:30p online and OF COURSE the things i wanted were o.o.s! HOWEVER - i did shoot them an email at about 1p requesting the items i wanted and gave them all my info- so im CROSSING the fingers it goes thru!! LOL! if not, i AM technically done shopping- these were just going to be extra items- because they were on sale! and i can't seem to let a good sale go by me! lol ;-)

going on over 4 hours now trying to place an order....i'm beginning to question my sanity- do i REALLY need to make my kids happy on xmas!!!?????

ive been trying to cash out for over an hour! !$!#$%!%!
